IoT Business Platform Asia 2017

IoT Business Platform Asia 2017

With a focus on local telecommunication companies, government bodies, and verticals, Asia IoT Business Platform is a premier business program crafted by the industry, for the industry. The program aims to address key issues facing the adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) technology in ASEAN. We drive enterprises to understand and learn about the adoption of IoT for their businesses, and connect international IoT solution providers with their prospective clients and partners in the local markets for their regional business development.

Since its inception in 2013, Asia IoT Business Platform has secured strong support from local governments and telecommunication companies. The program is now in its fifth year and the 2017 series will continue to bring together leading IoT leaders and stakeholders from ASEAN to engage in discussions surrounding the latest IoT developments in ASEAN.

The IoT Market Potential

As part of the economic masterplan, Indonesia is working towards becoming ASEAN’s largest digital economy. Over the course of 2016, multiple IoT applications were launched as part of Jakarta’s efforts to evolve into a smart city. The Jakarta Smart City aims to manifest a new Jakarta that is informative and transparent through the use of sophisticated smart technologies for better public services. The smart city plan includes the deployment and implementation of Jakarta One Card, City Surveillance System, Dump Truck Tracker, and Smart Street Lighting System, among others.

In February 2016, Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo, introduced a venture capital policy to provide incentives for the financing of tech startups. The policy seeks to emulate the accelerator and incubator concept and model of Silicon Valley.

Currently, the Indonesia Broadband Plan is in place to focus on expanding fixed and mobile broadband infrastructure across rural and urban areas.

The 16th edition of Asia IoT Business Platform will be held on 7 – 8 August 2017 at JW Marriot Jakarta.
